Phantom of the Opera Research Paper, Unfinished.

The phantom of the opera is a long lived novel written by Gaston Leroux in the early 1900’s with a French background. This classic work enjoys worldwide fame as a tragic love story containing amazing special effects on film and on stage as well as stunning music. Gaston Leroux wrote the horror novel "Le Fantome de l'Opera," published in 1911. Leroux had heard stories of ghosts haunting the Paris Opera House and decided to base a novel around these tales. He even boasted having researched the opera house and finding evidence of dead bodies in the cellars. After receiving only mixed reviews, the novel was run as a series of short chapters in newspapers with accompanying illustrations. This made the story more successful. Eventually, Universal Pictures became aware of the story, and in 1925, the company created the first film version of the novel under the title "The Phantom of the Opera." The silent film created a star of Lon Chaney, who starred the tormented phantom. Some consider this early film version to be the most true to the novel. However, the director changed the ending from one where the phantom dies of a broken heart to one where he attempts to escape with Christine, his young protégé and love interest, but instead becomes victim to an angry mob that kills him. Andrew Lloyd Webber was the creator of the most successful stage version of "The Phantom of the Opera" in the mid-1980s. The musical opened in 1986 at London's Her Majesty's Theatre as a huge success. "Phantom" won every major British theatre award, and since its opening, every seat has consistently been sold out. When the music from the theater version was released in London, it went straight to number 1 on the charts. The musical opened on Broadway in New York in January 1988 and has set many attendance records since that time. In the theater version, Webber took the character of Phantom, created by Leroux as a menacing horror character, and turned him into more of a tragic, hopelessly in love...

FACTS:
Dan is a trained paralegal who works for Erie Bank in Lakewood, Ohio. One day, Mary walks into the bank to apply for a mortgage loan to purchase a new house. She and Dan have a long conversation about Mary taking out a mortgage. Mary is concerned that were she to default on her loan, her credit would be destroyed. In response, Dan tells her:
Don’t worry about it. If you don’t pay your loan, the only remedy the bank has is to foreclose on the house. The bank cannot go after you personally and your credit score will be unaffected. I’ve been dealing with this issue for years and I’m telling you that this is the Ohio law on the matter.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Dan was incorrect. When Mary defaults on her loan the next year, her credit is badly hurt.
ISSUE:

What should be done with Professor Smut? Professor Smut should be fired from Edinboro University. For the following reasons he violated the First Amendment, academic freedom, and may have caused damage to the students. The First Amendment states that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Professor Smut violated academic freedom, “The standard established in these cases requires a plaintiff who alleges a hostile environment to prove that sexual advances and comments are “sufficiently severe or pervasive ‘to alter the conditions of [the victim’s] employment and create an abusive working environment (Rutherglen 1)’” It’s problematic to categorize what is considered sexual harrasment. Men and women take and view harrasment differently. What men may find acceptable, women may find it offensive, and classify it as sexual harrasment. Academic freedom is the belief that the freedom of inquiry by faculty members is essential to the mission of the academy as well as the principles of academia, and that scholars should have freedom to teach or communicate ideas or facts without being targeted for repression, job loss, or...

... College drinking has become popular among all students throughout college campuses. Students are encouraged to “follow the crowd”. Extensive research has been done on social norms and how it influences behavior People conform to what others do in attempts to feel included. The following literature reviews attempt to support this hypothesis. Research done by (Dipali V. R., Clayton N., 2014) suggests that social norms are among the strongest influences on college drinking (Neighbors, Lee, Lewis, Fossos, & Larimer, 2007). Due to perceived norms, students tend to overestimate the amount of alcohol is being consumed by their peers as well as the frequency of consumption. In a recent study done in the University of Houston, researchers examined whether perceived descriptive norms moderated the relationship between temptation and drinking. The findings were that college students who are higher in temptation drink more and experience more alcohol-related problems when they perceive drinking to be more prevalent among their peers. Dipali V. R., Clayton N., (2014).Perceiving peers to be drinking more may facilitate
yielding to temptation by offering justification (i.e., everyone else is drinking) or by making one's own drinking seem to be more “normal”. Dipali V. R., Clayton N., (2014).

Social Networking Sites (SNS) and their Impact on Grades
Background
Social Networking Sites (SNS) have become an integral part of the day-to-day lives of students. In today’s digital age, SNS has become the most-common platform to build and sustain social connections with people from all spheres of our lives.

Hence, the intention of this research is to understand the standing of SNS usage on academic performance of college/university students .

Nursing Research Critique
The purpose of this paper is to bring forth a greater understanding of the need to adhere to guidelines and instructions when dealing with venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are a result of chronic venous insufficiency (Heck, Grypdonck, Beele, Vanderwee, & Defloor, 2011, p. 430). These ulcers can often develop quickly and be hard to heal without intensive therapy and treatments. These ulcers can lead to decreased mobility, pain, a source of infection. Having an ulcer may lead to emotional and/or psychological problems due to the odors, appearance and pain caused by the site. This article reflects on the measures that can be taken at home to decrease the chances of developing ulcers and to help improve the outcomes of those that do already have venous ulcers.
Abstract

The article (Burns & Grove, 2011) addressed the area of concern being that many patients with venous leg ulcers did not adhere to the recommended guidelines for treatment and prevention. This research article provided interventions that the patients could perform in their own home on a daily basis and the results were presented in a table. The information for evaluation was gathered at the baseline (one week before the start of intervention), the end of...
